Dating Games?

That's funny, I didn't realize that going on dates equaled playing games.

Here I thought that you date someone to get to know them and spend time with them.

And then if you're not interested at some point, you don't go out on dates anymore.

I can see where someone might hesitate with this interpretation. However, dates do not have to cost a lot of money (or any at all).

Here are some things I would like to do:

- Play games (any except card games. e.g. Yahtzee, movie trivia, word games, Monopoly, etc.)
- Walk around temple square
- Walk around downtown Salt Lake
- Drive up the canyon
- Have a bonfire (maybe cook food or make s'mores)
- Have a picnic at a park
- Watch a movie (at home or at the theater--regular or dollar theater)
- Get a shake
- Bake something together
- Share music
- Go to a pawn shop
- Go to a museum (preferably an art museum)
- Go on a hike (preferably an easy one)
- Go to the pool and swim/tan/talk
- Go boating
- Sight-see in Utah - Salt Flats, etc. (there's way too much I haven't seen)
- Go to a comedy club of sorts
- Go to a concert (it can just be like at In the Venue or Muse, under $10, or free!)
- Go to a baseball game (or other sporting event, but baseball is my favorite; major or minor leagues)
- Color (yep, I said it. I like coloring. Don't judge me.)
- Ice skate (in the winter)
- Boating

Really, I just like when there is a plan. I don't mind making decisions regarding those plans. Like if I'm given a few options, I don't mind picking. But I like knowing there is a plan laid out no matter what I choose. I am not high maintenance. I don't demand to be taken to expensive restaurants or have someone buy things for me...

Just show some thoughtfulness, have a plan, and open doors.

And I'm a happy girl!

And at some point when I am not happy (or not interested), I will no longer accept date invitations. Simple as that.

/Magic.

Disaster Praxis and Spilled Milk

Image
I never wake up with the expectation that it will be a bad day. I tend to wake up with very few expectations, in fact. I just intend to let things play out however they may and roll with the punches. I'm sure more conscious positive thinking would do me some good, but I am by no means thinking negatively. I got up this morning before my alarm intending to get dressed, eat, and head over to the University of Utah for my reading Praxis . This is a 2-hour long test consisting of 90 multiple choice questions and 3 written responses. Not the way anyone likes to spend her Saturday morning, but it has to be done, ya know?  I've been studying for the past week. I took the practice test last night and didn't do so well on it, but I tried to be confident and hope for the best.  So I ate my granola, yogurt, and mango for breakfast and drove over to the U, prepared with my ticket and #2 pencils. Since I just took another Praxis not too long ago at the same place, I felt OK ...

March GBOMB

Image
Good Zoo pass. We have been to the zoo twice so far this year, and bought our pass on our first visit. AJ has asked to go to the zoo multiple times, but the weather is still spotty. I'm excited for more visits to the zoo. I love how small Hogle zoo is so we can knock it out in a couple of hours. And the pass is nice so we can see whatever we want, and leave and not feel stressed about it. Plus he runs around everywhere. Definitely a worthy investment for us.  This makes me laugh every time Weight lifting. I finished March off strong with the Fitbliss at-home workouts. It's been really fun to get to do new workouts and mix things up. It helps me to challenge myself and feel accomplished that I did a hard thing.  Pelvic floor physical therapy. Honestly, it never is comfortable having medical professionals poke around the private parts. But I've been trying to do some breathing and other things at home that seem to have made a difference for my overall tension and dysfunction....

June in Review

Image
June 1 I woke up around 6:30 and took AJ on a walk. We did breakfast and went grocery shopping. He was really fussy after that because he was tired. Matthew tried to put him down for a nap, but I ended up having to hold him until he fell asleep. It was a busy day of trying to pack up the house to get ready for the contractors on Monday. I did laundry and also cleaned out the bottom of the grill. We went to Joy Luck Chinese restaurant for dinner as a family and then the three of us went to the playground. We gave AJ a bath and did bedtime. Matthew went to the kitchen. I took a bath and wrote my GBOMB.  June 2 AJ and I went on a walk. I moved items from the pantry into my bedroom to get ready for the floors being done. I researched and did some measuring to get some shelves for our entryway closet. I took apart our table. AJ and I ran some errands including going to three furniture stores. AJ took a fall down our cement stairs which was really sad. AJ having the time of his life at L...
